Dr Kirsten van Heerden's passion for sport and performance psychology comes from her background as a South African swimmer. She is one of only a handful of psychologists tasked to work with South African Olympic athletes and has become the psychologist to many world champion athletes and teams.

Kirsten is also a keen advocate for women in sport, passionately believing in the value of sport for empowering girls and women. She believes that sport provides opportunities for people to access their own potential while creating a platform of skills that can catapult them to success in life beyond sport.
